Swansea City will entertain Tottenham Hotspurs at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday, March 30, 2013 in what should prove to be a mouth-watering clash between these two premier league heavy weights.
All teams have their ups and down, Andre villas Boas has had a dream run with the Spurs, but off late his team has succumbed to three defeats in a row in all competitions. Many pundits have said that the team will find it difficult to recover from this and could be staring down the barrel probably losing a top four spot.
On the other hand Swansea City has had a pretty impressive run in the domestic League Cup and the premier league as well. They are more than capable of creating an upset inflicting the Spurs with yet another loss.
Tottenham have a four points cushion between themselves and fifth placed Arsenal who have a game in hand. Villas Boas will be well aware that if his team slips any further they could be heading out of a Champions League position for next season.
Spurs star, Gareth Bale arguably the world’s most prized football asset as of today picked up a knock while on international duty but has recovered and will be fit for this encounter. He has been having a dry spell of lately and will be eager to get his name on the score-sheet adding to the 16 goals he has scored thus far.
Swansea City’s midfield maestro Michu has by far been the team’s best performer netting 15 times already. Unfortunately the strike force for the Swans has not performed up to mark and hence is the major reason that they are languishing in 9th spot.
Spurs defender Michael Dawson is doubtful due to injury and could be joined in the stands by speedster Aaron Lennon who has a strain in his groin.
